A Wizard’s Secret
chapter-99

The wide River Lye surged downward from upstream and flowed past Conxion Town. The heat from the gleaming river gathered on the surface along the coast of River Lye. It was as if the whole of Conxion Town was standing amongst mist.

The weather these days had turned slightly warmer, so many people had begun bustling around during the early morning. Some were busy catching fish at River Lye so they could sell the fish for a good price in the morning market of Prakash City.

There were also some businessmen who promoted their products from out of town. They were selling some small products they had bought from a faraway place to the simple-minded townsmen.

Since Conxion Town was a rather prosperous town, there were many activities going on since early morning. As a result, there were also many arguments occurring as well, making the town seemed rather chaotic.

However, these days were not the same as before. Since the new Sir Baron had taken over Conxion Town, some nicely-dressed knights could be seen patrolling the town very often. Once they found anyone disrupting the order of the town, they would immediately detain the person and beat him to half death.

Although the action of these fierce-looking knights was cruel, it was truly effective. The order of Conxion Town had improved greatly than before. Some businessmen were also willing to buy the local products in Conxion Town and sell to a faraway place. Thus, the whole of Conxion Town had gradually become more prosperous than before.

A carriage slowly drove into Conxion Town. A young man with black hair and blue eyes was sitting in the carriage. As he pulled the curtain open, his gaze fell on the people along the streets.

"Good. The town seems to prosper more than before. It seems Father is really good at managing this territory!"

The person in the carriage was Merlin. He came to Conxion Town to look for Old Wilson and had only checked out Conxion Town along with his journey. In fact, he found that the town had prospered more than before, indicating Old Wilson's exceptional management.

"Sir Baron, we've arrived at the castle," the carriage came to a halt in front of an ancient castle as Moss spoke to Merlin in a low voice. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Merlin walked out of the carriage. He raised his head to take a glance at this ancient town. There were quite a lot of castles in Conxion Town but Old Wilson simply chose a castle that seemed to be more intact to live.

Merlin walked into the castle and found the interior arrangement faintly resembled Wilson Castle in Blackwater City. He figured that Old Wilson must have asked the people to arrange it this way. In Old Wilson's heart, he must have missed the days in Blackwater City.

"Merlin?"

From the castle, a madam who wore the adornment of an aristocrat approached him. Merlin bowed slightly and replied, "Madam, where's Father? I would like to see him."

She was Macy's mother, Big-breasted Madam. To manage Conxion Town conveniently, Old Wilson had lived in the castle in Conxion Town. Big-breasted Madam was also here to take care of Old Wilson.

"Master is at the yard, practicing his sword. Let me bring you there."

Big-breasted Madam brought Merlin to the backyard of the castle.

"Boom!"

Just when he arrived at the backyard, Merlin felt a scorching presence. Within his sight, it appeared as if everything was engulfed in furious flame. Amongst the flame stood a muscular, tall man who seemed like a little giant. His whole being was giving off a fierce Aura, making Big-breasted Madam extremely uncomfortable. She could only say helplessly, "Master has been like this these few days. Merlin, you should advise him to not practice his sword with all his might."

Merlin did not mind Big-breasted Madam. Instead, his gaze focused slightly and stared at Old Wilson's body. Sensing the fierce Aura from Old Wilson and the terrifying flame on his body, a hint of elation flashed across Merlin's face.

"Third-level Fire Swordsman! Father, you've overcome the barrier?" Merlin could not help but ask.

"Hu…"

The flame on Old Wilson's body immediately disappeared. The fierce Aura was also the same as if everything only happened in Merlin's imagination.

"Merlin? That's right. I've overcome the barrier three days ago!"

Old Wilson turned around and saw Merlin and smiled. When Old Wilson was in Blackwater City, he was at the brink of a Second-level Fire Swordsman. It was only a matter of time that he overcame the barrier. Thereafter, he had gone through a long journey and he had not trained much on the way.

Finally, he had settled down in Prakash City. Therefore, it was only reasonable that Old Wilson had overcome the barrier and become a Third-level Elemental Swordsman now.

"Congratulations, Father."

Merlin was happy for Old Wilson from the depth of his heart. Initially, he wanted to leave Prakash City and search for the Dark Magic Region, but he was worried about Old Wilson, Macy, and the others.

Now, Old Wilson had become a Third-level Elemental Swordsman. On top of his powerful, gifted strength and the posture of the mysterious sculpture, Old Wilson would only get stronger in the future. Even now, he was already comparable to a Fourth-level Elemental Swordsman.

Since Old Wilson had become stronger, Merlin could finally put his heart at rest. Thus, Merlin became more certain with his intention to search for the Dark Magic Region.

Upon thinking that, Merlin could not help but said softly, "Father, I've something I need to discuss with you."

Looking at Merlin's serious expression, Old Wilson nodded and brought Merlin into his study room.

"Merlin, say it. What's the matter?" Old Wilson asked.

Merlin hesitated but his expression turned determined after that. He said in a dignified manner, "Father, I want to leave Prakash City for a while to look for a Spell Caster organization!"

After saying that, Merlin quickly looked at Old Wilson.

Old Wilson shot a complicated look at Merlin and did not speak for a long time. The air was heavy.

After a long while, Old Wilson heaved a sigh. "I know this day will come. Merlin, you're my pride and the whole Wilson family's pride! You should live in a bigger world, not by my side…"

Merlin was elated and stood up. He quickly asked, "Does this mean, Father, you've agreed to it?"

If Old Wilson had agreed to this, Merlin would arrange for his leave as soon as he could. He would go to the Kurdish Mountains and look for the Dark Magic Region at the greatest speed.

However, Old Wilson waved his hand suddenly and came in front of Merlin. His face showed a slight hint of hesitation as he said, "You want to search for a stronger power. You want to live freely in a big world. I'm relieved about that! However, the lineage of the Wilson family must remain. I know about the matter between you and Princess Charise. This is a good thing but you have to accept Avril as well."

After a pause, Old Wilson flashed a strange smile and continued, "I'll quickly arrange for your marriage. Until either one of them has given birth to your child who can inherit the Wilson family, I'll let you search for what you desire."

"This…"

Merlin was stunned. He had not thought that Old Wilson had known that he would leave. That was why he had such a "well-thought plan" to ensure the lineage of the Wilson family.

To a past aristocrat like Old Wilson, it was of utmost importance to ensure the lineage of the family!
